Floradude Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Exciting News: The April Telmex bill was delivered to my house this morning. Of course, it was due on May 18th. I wonder when, or if the May bill will be delivered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 It might be. It might not. It’s TelMex. One time I drove to the office in Ajijic to pay my bill on the day it was due. When I came home the bill was in my mailbox. I have received the bill early, late, and not at all. As I said, it’s TelMex. If you have a Mexican bank account you can pay on line. I have a friend with a Mexican bank account. When the bill is due and has not arrived by mail she will pay my bill on line and I give her cash.

The outstanding amount on the bill is debited to my credit card on a recurring basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natasha Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Go to the Telmex machine in Ajijic day before the due date. If you put your number in you'll see the balance. HOWEVER since we use our TM bill as "proof of address" and some places absolutely will not accept non-paper, I do call them in a pinch and they have sent me an email I can print. Last month a kind TM person (in Spanish) walked me though getting it from mi cuenta, which I had registered ages ago but was NEVER able to get into. After trying with her on the line (no luck) she finally told me to change the PW to first letter a CAPITAL. Worked like a charm! Printed. Of course, arrived 2 hours later.........

Mostlylost Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Folks We are in the 21st century .......Open a mitelmex account at https://telmex.com/ They will send you an email when the bill is available with the amount and due date. You can download a PDF of your statement. You can pay online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floradude Posted May 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I hope you are all not telling me the ways I can pay my bill. I have lived here 18 years and have seen everything Telmex, etc., can throw at us. I suspect the Post Office is to blame for the delayed, late, missing bills. The person who delivers the bill to my house is the man (I should remember his name) who was in the Ajijic post office all those years. Now, he is in Chapala and somehow is expected to deliver our CFE and Telmex bills. I still wonder when, or if I will receive my May Telmex bill........

Bisbee Gal Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 CFE bills are delivered to our home, but not by the Post Office. I haven't gotten a TelMex bill for several years, but they used to be delivered by the Post Office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy2013 Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I get my Telmex bill monthly by mail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDouglas Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I registered my Telmex line at www.telmex.com which allows you to pay online. I have both Telmex and Totalplay installed at the same time for redundancy. The landlord pays Telmex and I pay for my Totalplay connection. Totalplay is a new ISP that became available in Ajijic this month. Totalplay is much faster though for me (500 megabits per second download, 500 megabits per second upload) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronopio Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 I could never get the Telmex app to work (but per Natasha, I'll try capitalizing the password). But I found out that you can pay Telmex bills through the Telcell app - an app I've never had problems with. Works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDouglas Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 I know dozens of new residents are having problems finding easier ways to pay bills! To other readers (Xeno / Cronopio / etc): You don't need an app to pay online! If apps are having problems, this is an additional method for new residents of Lake Chapala area: Instructions for New Residents 1. Get Physical Copy Of Telmex Bill (first-time only) If you have never done this before, get a physical copy of the Telmex bill. 2. Go to Telmex website in any web browser, desktop or mobile Google Chrome is preferred, because it has a language translator built in. Go to https://telmex.com and click the "Person" icon 3. Enable Language Translation If you're using Google Chrome, you can translate the page: 4. Register if you haven't yet If you do not have an online-payment account yet, register first! That's where your physical bill comes in handy. If Telmex is in your landlord's name, just make sure you get your landlord's permission to register to pay the bill online. 5. Log into your Telmex Page Use the password you registered the account with in step 4. "Forgot Password" is also a great way to reset your non-working password too, if you have access to the email. 6. Pay The Bill Now you can easily pay for the bill! 7. Payment Methods Accepted The next page doesn't translate successfully, but it's still easy to click: 8. Card Information Screen. Future Telmex bills become downloadable in PDF format. So you can save trees, too. Hope this helps! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
